Additionally, discussions will cover speeding concerns on Liberty Street, South Sycamore Street, North Sycamore Street, and the first two blocks of East Fillmore Street. Any other streets mentioned by citizens during the meeting will also be considered for discussion.
Representatives from both the City Manager’s Office and the Petersburg Police Department have been invited to attend. They are expected to address various issues related to speeding and respond to questions from those present.
The meeting is open to all residents and property owners in Petersburg irrespective of their Ward affiliation.
